Hi Priss,

I've started on another pass of the chrome and had a few questions:
1. Making the use of grey text consistent:
+ Field labels
+ Hint text
2. Toned down the pulldown menus to be just 'Text + Arrows' (like
Apple iCal). I was wondering if the boxed pulldowns would look
strange in the Detail View next to the other platform specific field
elements, like checkboxes and radio buttons. This freed up a lot of
space in the DV and allowed me to move the fields around so that the
fields can be more conventionally laid out.
3. Stacked the From and To columns into a single Who column. Added
dividers to divide up the rows.
+ What will our heuristics be for when to display 1 versus 2 rows per
item?
+ Does it always hinge on the Who column?
+ If there are no Who attributes to display, do we always display 1
row, even if the Title could potentially wrap onto 2 rows?
4. Added the mini-cal sidebar back in.
+ Do we need a [Go] button next to the 'Go to' widget?
+ Will selecting a week in the mini-cal do anything when the user is
in the Dashboard view?
5. Added a very subtle light grey background to the DV to set it off
from the rest of the UI.
Still working on:
+ Logo text layouts for all contexts
+ Pagination nav - Is it enough to just say << [1] of 13 >> where [1]
is editable by the user.
Remaining open issues:
+ Pull together a proposal for Removing / Deleting / Unsubscribing /
Unpublishing
+ Follow-up with Bobby re: Time zones workflows for Preview to
finalize UI proposal
+ What was our next action for Recurrence? I can't remember.
+ Bucketize UI elements into 3 categories:
- Stuff users need to see immediately, whether or not they're looking
- Stuff users need to be find easily when looking for them
- Stuff users can find on their own time
+ Continue to experiment with button styles for:
- State buttons: View selector and Mark-up bar
- Action buttons: Email this, Remove, Save, Cancel, etc
+ Comprehensive visual syntax guide for:
+ Font colors, sizes, styles
+ Button styles
+ Selection highlight
+ Glyphs
+ Resolve mock-up size: 800x600 versus 1024x768
Things we decided:
+ We will use 'User name' (as opposed to username, User Name, user
id, ID, etc).
+ We're assuming we can have a custom pulldown.
+ We're assuming we're going to have stackable row items in the
Dashboard. As a result, were going to keep the sidebar around in both
the Dashboard and Calendar views.
Thx!
Mimi
